The Biogas Process: What Does Anaerobic Digestion Mean?
Biogas, a green gas that can be improved to biomethane, digestate, a biofertiliser that can replace fossil-based counterparts, and bio-CO2 are all results of anaerobic digestion.
AD helps prevent climate change and restore soil health by collecting and converting methane-emitting organic matter into biogas and digestate.
It serves as a waste management technique in addition to creating bioproducts, reducing methane emissions at both the upstream and downstream stages of the process.
Biogas that has been converted to biomethane can be directly injected into the existing gas infrastructure, assisting in the decarbonization of the heat sector right away.
To decarbonize their operations, towns and large merchants throughout the world are already using biomethane-fueled buses, trash collection vehicles, and HGVs.
When an HGV is powered by biomethane instead of diesel, GHG emissions are reduced by over 85%.
Digestate, a biofertiliser produced as a byproduct of AD, aids in the replacement of fossil-based fertilisers in agriculture and the restoration of soils.
On-farm AD also aids farmers in producing their own energy to operate their equipment and facilities.
Biogas is a highly adaptable green gas that, if necessary, may be transformed to green hydrogen using existing technologies.
As a result, it can assist in meeting future energy demands in both the short and long term.
